Description of Program and Relief
Shared Work Unemployment Compensation Program
The Shared Work Unemployment Compensation Program provides an alternative for employers who are faced with a reduction of available work. The program allows an employer to divide the available work or hours of work among a specified group of employees in lieu of a layoff, and the employees can receive a portion of their Unemployment Insurance benefits while working reduced hours. While no specific guidance has been provided for those affected by COVID-19, employers that are adversely impacted by COVID-19 should be eligible if they meet general eligibility requirements.
Government or Lead Agency

Eligibility Requirements/Restrictions
An employer must submit a Shared Work Plan Application at least 10 days prior to the date that the plan will begin. The employer must certify that each employee listed on the plan has been paid at least $1,500 during the six months prior to the effective date of the plan, and that the reduction in hours replaces an otherwise-necessary layoff. The employer will be notified by mail of the approval or disapproval of the plan.
